That 61.55 you lose goes somewhere. The company doesn't magically move the freight with less labor. Don't blame the company for this rule. I'm sure they don't like it eitherSo your telling me that the 61.55 im loosing a week and the 3,200.00 im loosing a year does NOT benefit Conway in any way shape or form???? Whatever White shirt,,you seem to know it all dont you....Maybe you should go blow smoke up sombody elses a$$....
Lunches should be taken at a drivers choosing as long as they comply with the HOS. Looks like once again it screw the drivers....
"It also includes a provision that allows truckers to drive if they have had a break of at least 30 minutes, at a time of their choosing, sometime within the previous 8 hours."

From what I'm reading and understanding, you could, for example, drive 4 hours, work the dock for 5 hours, then take your 30 minute break. As long as you take your 30 minutes before driving again. "May drive only if 8 hours or less have passed since end of driver’s last off-duty or sleeper berth period of at least 30 minutes."

no, you can drive for 4 hours and work the dock for 3 1/2 hours...you have to take your rest break BEFORE the 8th hour...
61.55 i lose goes nowhere..Its money Conway doesnt have to put out...making it a savings... which is a benefit for the company....That is why they want us to take it ON the Kronos, IF it didnt matter to the company they wouldnt care if the road driver took it on the road or at the FAC as long as they did it before the 8th hour....And For the record, I am not blaming the company for this....I know this is a DOT rule and we have to abide by it,BUT Conway could have let the road drivers rein of thier own log book and have a little faith in us that we will do the right thing.....We are not babies and dont need to be baby sat...Well, maybe not all of us.......
I happen to be one of the slower to comprehend.... I got it now.. I see the most money now. Yeah..take it before you leave to go back home. Or per the law, take it when you want .Tthe break can be taken at the end of fac. Conway IS trying to force it at the beginning. As long as you show a half hour lunch before you drive again!!! Its not your congressman period.....BS...........Read and reread the rule again! and again for soom of the slower to comprehend.

how on earth can you bastardize the company for your thirty minute break? .
I run a long run and I stop at the same place every nite on the way back if I am forced to take a break at the fac I will still stop on the way back I will not eat out of a vending machine and I guess that will cause me to get back later.maybe if everyone would take ther entire breaks maybe they would turn up the slow arse trucks
Your right,they are not MAKING a dime,BUT saving a dime.....Take 2 1/2 hours, times it by 24.62 that equals 61.55....Thats 61.55 a week they save per L/H driver per week..NOW times that by 52 and thats 3,200.60 dollars a year,per driver,conway saves....NOW im not crying im just stating the facts driver...Con-Way is saving a bundle by forcing us to take this at the FAC rather than on the road.....

WTF are you talking about??? I never said anything bad about the Company and i never said ignore the rule...maybe you need to re-read my post...DO you and White Shirt hang out together on weekends as you two both seem to think im badgering the Company.....IF my comments offend you and you then so be it....Scar me if i dont agree 100% with some of the decisions that this company makes...And seriously how many drivers coming into a FAC, taking their 30 min break, are gonna benefit from this????How many drivers are gonna "rest"...hanging out in the break room BSing or eating out of the machine is definatly gonna refresh us drivers isnt it....
